[[ CCing Michael Banck, who is kindly helping me with this procedure,
which is new to me ]]
Greetings,
by this mail I would like to ask the permission to upload to
testing-proposed-updates a source package that fixes a grave bug that
occurs on normal operation of the massxpert software.
The affected package in squeeze is version 2.3.6-1. The fixed pacakge
would be version 2.3.6-1squeeze1.
As the upstream of that software package I can tell that the bug is
really grave, as using the software the normal way would inevitably
make it crash.
The fix is only two lines long:
++ if(m_startIndex < 0)
++ m_startIndex = 0;
The debdiff obtained using:
$ debdiff massxpert_2.3.6-1.dsc massxpert_2.3.6-1squeeze1.dsc > /tmp/debdiff
is attached to this message.
Further, here the output of the following command:
$ debdiff massxpert_2.3.6-1.dsc massxpert_2.3.6-1squeeze1.dsc|diffstat
changelog | 8 ++++++
patches/debian-changes-2.3.6-1squeeze1 | 41
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
patches/series | 1
3 files changed, 50 insertions(+)
I hope you will be able to grant me the authorization to upload the
new version of the package.
Best regards,
Filippo
